Whoever came up with the phrase "chiseled jawline" probably didn't anticipate people taking it this literally.
The real joke is in the comments.
I think it came from references to sculptures, but yeah, this is a horrible interpretation.
Or maybe they did

@@user-fn6bm4yf7v read it again. I didn't say scripture.
I found it so odd when I first heard that at the end of Sound of Freedom they don’t tell you to donate to any specific charities or organizations, but to specifically buy more tickets for the movie. I’ve never heard of any other movie, be it a true story adaptation or documentary or otherwise, ask the audience to do something like that.
It would also possibly explain the movie’s unexpected financial success. A good portion of those ticket sales could potentially just be people buying multiple tickets to artificially boost box office numbers. Truly one of the weirdest grifts I’ve seen so far.
Having a singular obsession with being physically attractive is not only a turn off, it’s scary. When you’re so intense about it that you’re willing to break your own bones, what happens if you get rejected?
I'm pretty sure those people have body dysmorphic disorder, and they've been screened out by cosmetic surgeons.
I assume that's why they resort to TikTok "hacks".
The Sound of Freedom story basically reaffirms my belief that anytime someone self promotes themselves as the “morally good heroic type trying to make a difference” will always end up being revealed as an absolute pieces of garbage.
The issue is that they have to make it some badass story when in reality most help for human trafficking comes in logistics and therapy
That’s a really sad mindset to have… and the craziest part is, I don’t even think you’re entirely wrong. Can’t even blame you.
this info came from Vice News which is a garbage woke "news" organization that has been putting out crap for years. The woke left has hated Sound of Freedom since it was rumored to come out, at every turn trying to get them canceled. This is just them trying again.
Their actions are never about their ''cause'', it's always about themselves, pampering to their vanity. They're asses, laws apply to other, not them. They're sociopaths.
i hear yea. Just weird how so many others are ignored that display these traits and how only one side of the political spectrum condemns and hates Sound of Freedom...@@Sleepygrinder
The sound of freedom was such a success because, essentially, church groups and other special interests were buying mass quantities of tickets at a time leading to empty theaters that were sold out on multiple occasions. I have no doubt that quite a few people went to see it but, the numbers don’t equate to a good movie and are somewhat misleading.
THANK YOU for doing this deep dive on Sound of Freedom. I grew up Mormon and was very supportive of OUR and Tim Ballard when the nonprofit was first founded. The shady stuff surrounding OUR has been there for years. I slowly began distancing myself from OUR and really didn't hear much about them until Sound of Freedom. It was very frustrating to see people swear up and down the movie was completely apolitical despite it being produced by Angel Studios, casting Jim Caviezel, and marketing it as "the movie the left doesn't want you to see". Now the most frustrating part of this all is Tim Ballard seeming to get a pass on his exploitation of women in the name of "freeing children". He's getting away with what he claims to be so against. I'm sick of the narrative that Tim Ballard is some kind of hero when this entire thing has been a vanity project from day one. There is a lot more coming out about this and if anyone is interested Sam and Tanner from Zelph on the Shelf have great deep dives that go into much more detail.
also, a big reason why SOF got so big is because people could "buy" more tickets by donating for others to view the movie. This led to theatres being sold out despite not having actually people to show up to the movie. This fueled the conspiracy even more because people who followed SOF saw the box office numbers and the actual people in the theatre did not match. Instead of looking to the call to buy tickets for other people, they just assumed conspiracy.
Zelph on the Shelf's videos on Tim Ballard are excellent!!
The marketing of "the movie hollywood doesn't want you to see" is the only notice of the movie I had ever seen. Never saw a trailer ad for the movie at all, and I go to movies a lot. That campaign was their biggest reason imo for it's success. That line of thinking got it on ALL the news sites.
As someone who's mother was talked in to getting plastic surgery for her 17 year old daughter for a more "chiseled jawline" and "stronger chin" it was 10000% not worth it. They broke my chin and jaw which lead to my first year of college with my mouth wired shut and I feel like I look worse not better. There was little follow ups post surgery. I think the doctor got a round of golf the morning after while I spent the night in hospital vomiting blood. I looked so bad a man I was sharing the recovery room with came over to apologize for whatever happened to me because it must have been terrible. Unless you need it after an accident do not fall for this please.
I worked in a faith based antitrafficking organization, we focused on adult women, working closely with law enforcement. Instead of bursting in dramatically, we would offer friendship and support as well as the knowledge that they could call us at any time and be given a place to sleep and financial support. The people working were largely former trafficking survivors so it was run much better. Watching this story about Ballard was sickening, God calls us to serve, not use victims to puff up our ego.
God bless you and the work your team did.
Sound of Freedom was massive at my small town theater that I work at, and I hated it. The message at the end encouraging people to buy more tickets made me feel gross everytime I heard it through the door. I have no doubt that that’s why it did so well, people bought more tickets thinking it’ll help spread the movie’s message when in reality nobody used those free tickets. All those “free tickets” did was inflate their box office profits, but they painted it like it was a generous donation. Why didn’t they ask for donations to help the victims of human trafficking?
Same for my hometown theater. All the seats were bought up twice (once by an anonymous donor and once by a local church) so people could see it for free. The owner counted them as sold out showings even though there were empty seats.
This is a tactic used by the distributors of the film, Angel Studios, and it's not much different from advertisements, Oscar-baiting, "Number One Movie in the Nation!" trailer clips. It's meant to gin up hype and support. It's what movie studios do to get a return on their investment. They spend millions on ad campaigns. Angel Studios takes a different approach, but it's essentially the same thing. All that aside, Sound of Freedom is a well-done film and worth watching. The theater I saw it in was full and had sold out the week prior - as in, no more seats available.
I bought extra tickets because I like the idea of crowdsourcing like that. Plus I like the movies Angel Studios may put out as they're not tied to the mafia known as Hollywood.
@@terrancecloverfield6791you got scammed
The message at the end of the film was soooo telling of their actual intentions.
If they were actually serious about this issue, all they had to do was suggest organisations to donate to or give pointers to how people could help and they couldn’t even manage that.
As a Utahn who was raised Mormon (LDS is what they like to be called) the whole thing about a “psychic” talking to Nephi to get info is insane. Even for a Mormon.
So glad I got out of Utah. Sound of Freedom blowing up and OUR listening to ‘psychics’ is unsurprising. These men will grift as much as they can for as long as they can.
I had a leg lengthening procedure to correct a congenital limb length discrepancy - it was hell and I still experienced ghost pain where the pins were in my leg. It makes me so sad to think of someone being so unhappy with their appearance that they would voluntarily go through that.
It’s not about caring about their appearance, it’s about getting box
@@Andrew-pv8oz It's a general insecurity that comes from online dating preferences. Women get lip fillers and Botox because social media tells them that they need these enhancements in order to attract a mate. And men get leg-lengthening procedures and literally break their own faces for the same reason. It's a messed up situation all around.
I remember the first time I heard about the surgery being used for cosmetic reasons was when a girl underwent the surgery (they broke hers several times, idk if that's how it still works) so she could be tall enough to become an airline steward. I think it was a Barbra Walter's interview.
@@jimmyjams962 all in the name of box
@@Andrew-pv8oz Nah, it's body dysmorphia.
During Sound Of Freedom I was working as a manager at a cinema. The crowd SOF brought in was insane. These people would tell every worker they could that haven't seen a movie in theaters for decades because they refuse to support Hollywood, but SOF was just too important to miss. We would get harassed about the trailers before the movie or if God forbid something happen to the theatre like a power outage. Anything wrong happened or anything they disliked was a conspiracy against them. Once a guy called me a Fat Liberal C*** because the light cue was delayed in his theatre, which can happen easily. I was able to turn it off within the first minute of the movie, but to him, I was trying to make the experience horrible for them so they couldn't enjoy the movie. Many would come see it multiple times and harass us if we weren't able to have a in depth conversation about the movie. The crowd lasted into the week of Barbie, and we got called so many names by the SOF crowd because we dressed up and built a life-size Barbie house. Living in FL is always wild, but living through SOF in FL was a trial sentence.
I wish we could dial down the political temperature again.....The left pushes, the right pushes back. And round we go.
I bet that guy who called you that horrible name would claim he is a "Christian". 😒
I have a hard time believing you didn't leave the lights on on purpose to get a reaction.
@@terrancecloverfield6791The right is unhinged conspiracy theorists and the left take offence at the slightest thing.

The sound of freedom thing is so frustrating because most of it was known before the movie even came out and it was largely ignored because of the push for “Hollywood elites don’t want you to see this!”
Also the Verástegui running for president in Mexico and saying he is going to shoot people who support gender ideologies and the 2030 agenda.
Turns out lots of people wanted to learn from an expert about how to esk traffic little kids. The people who enjoyed and promoted the film knew what they were paying for.
It was despicable how any criticism of the movie and it’s astroturfing was met with “you’re a pedo/groomer”
@@PeachysMom Ehhh I hardly heard criticism in that area. The only story that was wildly spread was where the media was saying a "Top Funder" for the sound of freedom had sexual assault charged. Then you look into it for half a second and it was just some random dude that donated $500 to the GoFund me that had 0 input or affiliation to the move that had a charge 20 years ago. That story was spread everywhere. After that I'm sure it makes a lot of people on the side of the movie double down.
@@PeachysMomany criticism of any right wing nonsense is met with that. It’s literally all they have left.
The whole "Sound of Freedom" nonsense is so insane. What really annoys me about this movie is that you can't talk about it negatively online, or you've opened yourself to getting bullied by the Right.
The Right loves this movie, and they've really attached themselves to it and made it basically their major identity. I made a comment about it the other day, and they just INSTANTLY attacked me.
I went into it blind, honestly a good movie none the less.
The film is a dogwhistle for QAnons.
Caviezel has become a prominent figure on the conspiracist right, giving speeches and interviews in which he hints at an underground holy war between patriots and a sinister legion of evildoers who are harvesting the blood of children.
Ballard himself has dabbled in Q-adjacent conspiracy theories, such as the Wayfair trafficking hoax, while his organization has far-right affinities and a long record of distorting its botched “raids,” which rely on bizarre tactics like asking psychics where to find victims for rescue. Ballard, Caviezel, and others had primed the public to accept Sound of Freedom as a documentary rather than delusion by fomenting moral panic for years over this grossly exaggerated “epidemic” of child sex-trafficking, much of it funneling people into conspiracist rabbit holes and QAnon communities.
And, ironically, an early crowdfunder of the film was arrested for child kidnapping in Missouri last July, although the charges were dropped in September because the evidence was insufficient for a conviction.
100%. I calmly commented on the movie’s focus on international vs domestic crimes and got absolutely bombed with people telling me I was a pedo myself. It was like the movie was the Bible.
@@CalmontheoutsideI pointed out how they didn’t give you a good idea of what trafficking usually looked like and same thing happened to me.
Which is so ironic when people who love SoF then around and give support to Tate 😂
I used to date a firefighter whose nickname was Shrek & I won’t lie it was fitting. The guys would often say shit about us and how hung he must be. He would laugh it off but it was super rude and hurtful! Phill is absolutely right, he was just an awesome dude! He made me laugh & always built me up. Looks might get you a chance but it’s all the other stuff that keeps you around!
Regarding the hate crimes rising after headlines surrounding Israel, anyone who considers going out and doing one of these attacks is not the ‘hero’ for attacking some random people that have nothing to do with the missile strikes. Like you said last episode, “they’ve lost the plot.” They’re an embarrassment and a disgrace.
Damn right.
Well said. Here here
Agreed. 💯
I work as a moderator for a lot of western news sites. It's been.... exhausting trying to keep on top of the hate speech lately, the surge of it has been unlike anything I've seen before. Sure, it's always been there, but it's never been this focused since I've joined the team in two years.

As a long time follower and mom to a little boy, thank you so much for your continued outpouring of body positivity. For me, even though you’re correct that I already feel similarly to you, having it put into words helps me when I want to convey to others. Sometimes all my thoughts get jumbled so hearing it concisely is clutch. You’re a good influence, you beautiful bastard. 💙💙
I love how the argument of 'you signed this publicly' is thrown around like it's some kind of mic drop. I guess every person who ever signs a public petition for any reason deserves to get doxxed and endangered by people who disagree with them too
Nobody gave a shit when people supported the Ottawa truck drivers...
No, just the ones with shitty beliefs. Saying stupid crap that makes people mad causes this kind of stuff happen. I'd expect the same thing to happen to people petitioning 'qedophilia is a s3xuality'.
lol i saw my face on that truck!😂 also the info is wrong, correct face n name but others. makes me wonder how they got the info though did they make it up? doxxing, security, and job deprivation is not really a concern. been working in the family corp since i was 12 years old. also mom is rich and got security and dad married into money😅 hoping to get my CPA in 6months

@@allanlomas5133phil gave so many reports and testimonies what are you talking about? it seems like you just sticking your head in the ground and ignoring the facts
@@allanlomas5133 cope harder
@@fernvazquez8423 Here's the part Phil missed: The movie actually *_was_* demonized by the media because of Caviezel's involvement. Outlets like The Hollywood Reporter and Deadline condemned the movie as Q-Anon propaganda even though, as Phil mentioned, the screenwriters had nothing to do with the movement. The right-wingers responded by blaming the left of essentially trying to cancel a movie because they disagreed with the lead actor's beliefs and claimed that the movie had nothing to do with politics because it was based on a true story (which Phil also confirmed). The movie itself isn't problematic. It's just dramatized realism, like so many other movies before it. Should "Saving Private Ryan" be condemned because it doesn't accurately depict what landing on Normandy beach during D-Day was like? What about "The Pianist"? "12 Years a Slave"?
That being said, the alleged sketchy behavior of OUR and everything reported in this segment is 100% valid and needs to be looked into. If even 1/10th of what is alleged here is true, then the entire organization should be disbanded and its founder put behind bars. The issue that the right has is that this movie caught a lot of flack for allegedly being political propaganda just because certain media organizations disagreed with the lead actor's politics.
@@allanlomas5133 Nah, it's just how right wingers are. It's so believable because they're literally always pulling shit like this. It's like their main attribute to exude morality but then be the sheistiest humans on earth.
Movie theater manager here, Sound of Freedom gave us the worst guests of any movie I've worked at a theater for. (Only since February of 2022) We constantly got the Qanon weirdos that would demand more alcohol from our bar after being cut off, and yelling at people over not understanding how seating works. (My theater uses selective seating so you can't just sit anywhere.)
We had a guy scream he was gonna kill someone and hold his hand up like a gun to a lady's head. Cops were called and he was permanently banned. He's only tried to come back in 3 times since then. Was so glad when our booker let us drop this shit show movie. Felt it was so fucking weird how the guy at the end of the credits begged you to buy tickets, not to help any charity to help children, just to give him money.
Yeah... I have heard next to nothing about the movie and never watched it but now I'm glad that I haven't. I definitely don't want to support anyone like that. And the allegations are pretty gross too. It's just a dumpster fire of a movie, with a dumpster fire of writers and actors who are all involved in... SA of their own. It's gross
I love the Yesterday Today segments. It's a great addition to your shows. We ingest so much content that it's helpful to have a refresher.
The whole Hamas/Israel thing is horrific but what is also horrific is the number of statements made by people calling for genocide of one group or the other. It is so sad. The actions of some should never be used as justification for killing innocents. Sometimes I hate this world.
There’s a difference between calling people out and showing their signature on a something, and exposing someone’s personal identify information (phone, email, address) to ridicule, harass, and intimidate people you don’t like. One causes discomfort or embarrassment, the other puts people’s lives and safety at risk. Whoever believes doxxing is ever justified has either completely lost the narrative, or are talking bullshit trying to get back at people they hate.
It's literally terrorism. Causing terror to civilians for political beliefs.
Doxxing can be justified, like when someone is an imminent threat.
They only doxxed these students because the students dont blindly support Israel. Nothing in their statement was incorrect, and in-fact, is agreed upon by many Israelis.
Thats 99% of the internet, sorry bud.

@@kappatalism6969 Standing by it is entirely different from having your fucking personal life plastered online
There's a massive difference, or would you post your address and social next to any controversial opinions you may hold?
One of the reasons “sound of freedom” was such a box office hit is because on the website for the movie you could purchase tickets and there was a “pay it forward” option where you could buy tickets that a stranger could claim at the theater so that they could watch for free. So people who thought that ticket sales would go towards combating trafficking would “pay it forward” but few if anybody actually claimed free tickets, leading to showings that were completely sold out to empty theaters.
Exactly. We would get random people call and try to buy 10 tickets at a time. We couldn't take payment over the phone and they would say we were liberals trying to squash this movie. They would come physically buy tickets and find the youngest employee and make them pass out those tickets. These people were always disorganized and refused to understand how things work. They would leave reviews saying we were trying to make the movie tank on purpose. Which then would prompt others to go buy multiple tickets and try the same thing. It was a nightmare. Don't even get me started on the churches that would buy 30 to 90 tickets at a time.
Phil I want to thank you for your statement about everyone having someone out there for them. Today I was rejected pretty badly, and I couldn't help but feel like my appearance was a part of it. While what you said didn't actually make me feel any better, I realized it probably should have, so I decided to schedule an appointment with a therapist for Monday. ❤❤
On the first story, I had a friend in high school with a condition that left her physically the size of an 8 year old and she got two spine extension surgeries to make her a little bit taller and help her feel more like an adult (and I believe to try to avoid chronic pain in the future). She seemed happy with the results but it significantly impacted her education as she missed months of school to have the procedure and take the time to recover and relearn how to walk. There are cases where elective surgery can be positive but it’s such a difficult and complicated thing because of the high risks involved.
"Actions and words have consequences" - Couldn't agree more BUT they signed a petition so what happened to proportionate response like engage in conversation and/or debate? Those consequences shouldn't escalate straight to doxing! That's not delivering consequences. That's intentional intimidation and downright dangerous considering how heated tempers are right now! And by their own logic, what the heck are the consequences for doing the doxing?! "Time to grow up folks" applies to EVERYONE involved by the sounds of it!
This deserves more likes.
Agreed!
Its also hilarious. The Doxing is bad, but this reminds me a lot of what Libs of TikTok does. Plaster the story in front of as many faces as possible, while mis-representing the story to get as many of those people viewing it as upset as possible even if they gotta lie.
Frankly, the whole thing comes off very much as AIM saying "Here's terrible people who we think deserve terrible things, It'd be a shame if terrible things happened to them". While I'm not too aware of AIM, it just rings too closely to other examples of Stochastic terrorism I've seen especially recently.
@@darkshadow5581 "Libs" along with "Cons," "left," and "right" is an absolutely meaningless term.
@lancekeith7900 they are terms with meaning, but certain places take away their meaning or alter it.
As a self described lefist (a socialist), i can very much tell you a difference between liberals and conservatives and where they differ (societally liberals generally are more progressive on things like abortion, gay rights etc. Than conservatives, and have slightly different economic values, but still generally see the system as Being correct with problems that need working out). Meanwhile left and right are basically progressive and conservative, looking to advance society or return it to a better time.
Obviously you'll get different answers from a liberal, conservative, and literally anyone else, but these terms do have meanings, it's just a bit Grey. It's alot like most words, heck even Death. When is someone dead? When their heart stops beating? When their brain stops? When they are pronounced dead? Does a person "die" if an injury permanently and vastly changes their personality? Or other phrases like "from the rivers to the sea". Some people say it's hateful, others say it's a cry for freedom from oppression.
It's perfectly fine to be confident in your definition, it's just a personal thing, but it's a good idea to occasionally think about stuff like this because it can help you from being left behind by the constant changes in society.
I absolutely called it earlier on Tim Ballard and O.U.R.. The funny thing is that the success of Sound of Freedom turned into the worst thing possible for the organization because all the controversies surrounding the organization and Ballard over the years have now been thrust into mainstream discourse
I WISH I was surprised about this, but alas, I'm just disappointed 🫤

I don't understand the hype behind Sound of freedom, but now I do have want to.
I think on the Scarlet Johansen story... Bobbi WAS being condescending to Scarlet but people missed it. Pointing out a rouge hair on a seemingly perfect, modelesque actress like Scarlet could be seen a huge insult. I think the difference is Scarlet didn't feed into the mess and just went with the joke.
So Scarlet's modesty messed with it? Interesting take.
Or was she Really going into it for the hair care products?
So many questions come to mind.
Wee need to see more of her with white men and woman.
That was my initial take on it as well - but also, knowing that it was one of SJ's own hair products, it might have also being a contrived bit for ad money

Hi Phil, an Australian here. I’d love it if you covered our recent referendum to amend our constitution to allow an “indigenous voice to parliament.” It was a referendum that would have put us on track to “close the gap” between non indigenous and indigenous Australians, and yet the “no” vote one. I’m disgusted by my country and the fact that the sensationalist Murdoch media machine in Australia scared enough people, confirmed racial biases and confused people who aren’t interested in politics. Any other Australians here?
With the Sound of Freedom story, I work on a different (animated) show that's on the same streaming app that is on, and my producer was really excited about promoting it cuz he had worked on it in some capacity. I can't confirm this, but he kept telling us that we should get the free tickets and go, because more people were buying tickets for other people with their pay it forward program than there were people actually buying tickets to see it for themselves. So the box office numbers are greatly inflated, because nowhere near as many people who bought tickets were actually in the seats. It was largely from big donors, like those who fund the show I work on, which is completely independently funded. So I can't confirm this, but I feel like not only was the movie's success overly inflated, it was blatant propoganda to get believers in far right and libertarian beliefs.
That man is very manipulative and I find the way he went about the sexual assault was incredibly morally reprehensible... Telling women in a committed relationship that it'll strengthen their marriage how far will they go for a traffic child is so gross

You know, my brother told us about Sound of Freedom a few months ago and that he'd heard about it on TikTok, and I could tell immediately that it was either just entirely fictitious or someone misrepresenting a wider picture because that's just not how sex-trafficking works and also it sounded a lot like QAnon bullshit. So unfortunately, I am not at all surprised by the reality of it, but the mildly surprising part is that we're a British family who have only ever lived in Britain so you'd think we'd be free of QAnon bullshit, but no, no we're not.
I have no doubt there are cartels involved in the "kids in cages" type of trafficking but most people don't realize it's more likely some runaway in a motel room off the highway.
There’s different ways it works. A PH branch company is being sued because they pretended to be a modeling agency and threatened women to make spicy content. A lot of them knew what they were there for but there was a few that kept saying no to making that content but did want to model for magazines and they pretended like they were only modeling and ended up having the worst days of their life
I don’t blame people thinking what they think when Epstein island existed and people were telling people about it for years and no one believed it. I don’t think it’s Qanon level bad but I think there’s definitely things we don’t know about behind closed doors

Sound of freedom was presented to me as some fundraiser that the person claimed was "more important" than the charity I did for a veteran-owned and operated group that actively helps other veterans with mental health.

Off the bat, after looking at bone smashing? This scares me. I had my jaw surgically broken when I was 14, and I actually ended up with less of a jaw line. I wasn’t able to chew for like a month, I had to eat from a syringe for a week. The swelling I experienced didn’t go away for a year.
It was fucking horrible to go through, but mine was a “medical emergency”, I was even told by the doctor who broke my jaw that breaking it accidentally hurts way more. You couldn’t pay me to have my jaw surgically broken again, I genuinely cannot understand wanting to break your own jaw on purpose. It was extremely traumatic to go through because I had to, I couldn’t imagine doing that on purpose.
As a 25 year old woman, nothing is more attractive to me than confidence, looks are secondary. I feel so sorry for the men who feel so bad about themselves they will break their faces.
My best friend also had to have her jaw surgically broken years ago and i can never forget the pain she went through the following weeks/months, seeing her nearly go into a panic attack every time she had to sneeze or cough! Seeing that become a “trend” is horrifying.
That sounds awful and I'm sorry you had to go through that. I bet you could understand what these guys are going through though. As a woman I'm guessing you've experienced an almost all-encompassing pressure from society to look and act a certain way. It's inescapable, especially for women. Well, that's exactly what these guys are feeling. Unfortunately, online dating and social media have done so much damage to both men's and women's psyches. When you go in IG or TikTok, the most "successful" people are conventionally attractive, and those conventionally attractive people all have similar qualities. For dudes, it's a chiseled jawline and strong cheekbones. For women, it's often associated with enlarged or enhanced lower body features as well as some lip filler and/or Botox. Either way, this whole phenomenon has proven destructive and has people willing to go through the unimaginable pain that someone like yourself has experienced just for a chance to look or feel attractive.
As a Black woman, I am terribly exhausted of these "Savoir" style Hollywood movies. I could laundry list all the films that have been made in the last decade with this plot: looking at the wonderful, kind, openminded, colorblind Caucasians stepping in and stepping up to help the struggling athlete, the starving child, the abused woman, people who are the actual subject matter, thereby downplaying their own agency, only for a deep-dive to come out later showing just how false that narrative is. Getting HUGE The Blindside, The Help, Air vibes from this.
As a Jewish American this entire situation is terrifying! I live in a very liberal part of Colorado and my mom and sister went to a Jewish gathering to discuss what was going on, and my mother didn’t even feel safe bringing up the loss of Palestinians. My mother thought she would be attacked walking to her car for that position. This entire situation is so Fucked and there is no easy answer or easy fix to this issue. I cry for everyone, Israelis and Palestinians. There should not be this bloodshed
Never be afraid to speak up for innocent civilians, no matter what situation you are in. You can only change the world through bravery my friend. I'm a Muslim American so we're both believers of god and if there is a god, in my opinion, it's the only reason we're here. Otherwise why would he bring up that thought in your mother's head? However I do understand the need to stay safe as well so I recommend bringing it up at a gathering after you've discussed it beforehand to a few others who will also be there who can back up whoever brings it up. Reverse group think can be a powerful phenomenon. My mosque has always brought up the suffering endured by both sides so fortunately this isn't an issue I've had to deal with around me as the disgusting Hamas attacks were addressed today along with suffering of the innocent Palestinians who are now having to face the consequences of someone else's actions. Stay safe Noah✌🏼
There is a way to say this without being political in any way. "Only the rich profit in war." It's true, and supports no one state, one person, nor one religion. It only condemns the sin that is gluttony, and provides a truth to the improverished masses. Bless you from whatever God you choose. ❤
@@freedomishavingachoice3020 that's a pretty cowardly stance when there's an incredibly specific group of people that are expressly benefitting from their fomenting of hate and institutional support of violent fundamentalst groups (not Israelis at large obviously, but the political class that has openly talked about funding and Supporting Hamas for decades). Its incredibly easy to say violence and atrocity are bad, buts it's also insipid trite and utterly meaningless
@hillbillypowpow You can choose to fight to benefit the rich. I choose to love you, regardless of which God(s) you choose. I do hope you find that we must share this world if we want any kind of equality. I am for humanity surviving. Not one part of humanity. Take care. Edit: For the record, Daryl Davis was no coward. How dare you insinuate heroes like him didn't change humanity for the better.
That’s the issue with equating criticism to Israel to antisemitism, most Jews are equally against the human rights violations going on there but they are the ones who become a target because zionists keep using the Jewish community as a shield to their bigotry. Hope your mom stay safe, I salute her for at least trying in what could very well be a very dangerous situation for her.
As a drone pilot the whole “ flying over NFL games” is very concerning. The FAA has tried to put newer laws to track active drones, flying in restricted airspace ( there’s one that was supposed to take place this year, but was delayed to next year) but I do agree that laws need to catch up with our current technologies.
The hardest part will be educating congress about new technology so that they can effectively draft laws, laws that will be useful and beneficial. Of course, that will require them to be willing to learn and from there be willing to effect positive change. Both of which seem nigh on impossible in today's day and age.
Difficulty of enforcement is the issue
The FAA can't even bring in new air traffic controllers, and are working the ones we have to death. Theres no way they are going to have the personnel to watch drones over the sky. What a disaster waiting to happen.
@@NickCombs The worst part is the enforcement issue easily goes to the detection issue. Once they are outlawed, do you know how hard it is to pin down a drone? If they come in from high altitude, esp at night, the things are nearly invisible. Things acoustic sensors are very hit and miss with a lot of drawbacks and regular detection means don't work so well. That's why they've been the absolute game changer in the Ukraine conflict. Some day someone is going to do something terrible with these, and I am shocked it hasn't happened yet - I am shocked it's not been a factor in recent events, too.
@@BlazingOwnager I mean, they knew about over 200k incursions and could only deal with a handful. That tells me they can detect pretty well. My guess is that the issue is mostly around how to safely bring a drone down over a crowd of people. Either that or it's simply lack of staff/equipment.
That truck was driving around Berkeley yesterday displaying videos of the war, as if there aren't enough people with combat PTSD in town already
I can't say thank you enough for your story on The Sound of Freedom. I've known Ballard's name for a while because of how problematic he and OUR both are. As a survivor of child sex exploitation and trafficking it was infuriating seeing people praise him and this movie, or worse think seeing it was somehow doing something to help victims and survivors. Those same people literally attack us for speaking out. But it didn't take long to reveal the harm the men behind this movie actually cause. We need more people to shine a light on the truth. Thank you!!!!
Ex Mormon here. My family chat blew up when the sound of freedom came out. They were all talking about taking their teenage daughters to see it and how young was too young. I hadn’t heard anything about the movie or the organization. We have never talked about movies before in the group chat. So I asked what was special about this movie about sex trafficking, this is a very well covered subject. One of my sisters was like “really, what movie”. I google searched a list of movies about sex trafficking and posted that on the chat.
Long story short, they only wanted to talk about this movie because it is about a Mormon “hero”. It was so funny because no one wanted to admit the LDS connection was the reason they were all talking about this movie.
I’m the only one in the family that is out of the religion and I am continually surprised about how weird my family is and what a tiny bubble they live in
Our brains are very strange, we all perceive things differently based on a lot of factors and religion in this case is just one of those factors.
Absolutely, Kristan Hawkins kids saw this. I have zero doubt. Yup. And those poor kids, much like Dawn Smith, won't know it wasn't honest media until they leave the momma cultists' nest.
Are you saying his sins undo the good work he did? This may be surprising to you, people aren't just simply good or evil. You can understand the good someone did and also condemn the evil they do.
@@Zenkai76 If vigilantes regularly end up obtaining inadmissible evidence that cannot be used in court, (and go check, they do) resulting in a reoffender getting better at hiding their crime, it does more harm than good. I'm sorry if you truly believed it was helping. I survived our justice system as a kid used by adults. I can confirm the film inspires vigilantes that are in fact doing more harm than good. Please don't.
Takes a lot of courage leave religion behind, especially one as Mormon, you have my respect and admiration.
My cousin (Canadian) is in Israel with her husband helping serve the Baha’i faith world centre and I’m really scared for her. I’m tired of pro-this pro-that, people are dying. Civilians are dying.

In order for war to end and the suffering to end. It'll take sacrifices no one is willing to make.
Well, everything that’s happening can be traced back and be fault of Israel. Specially Netanyahu, who has given hamas power because it’s convenient to him
@@dilaisy_loone2846 it is the fault of Netanyahu alone. Yes, he leads Israel right now, but this did not happen under a more centrist PM like Gantz or Lapid.

I'm with you. Fuck the governments, fuck the politics, fuck the religion. Innocent people on both sides of this are gonna get hurt. What moron wants a war?
The Bobbi situation just really irks me. I say that because she really came up out of nowhere and had access to these celebrities for her podcast. She wasn’t a professional comedian, or even an internet comedian for that long until now. The Awkward interview segment is difficult to pull off effectively. It takes a lot of time, writing, good comedic timing, and most importantly control over the environment. She’s rarely interesting or funny, and clearly can’t handle losing control of the interview and rolling with the punches. Ziwe’s show was SOOO much better at doing this sthick because of her experience and writing capabilities. Bobbi just doesn’t have the chops to pull it off.
Phil, don’t sell yourself short. From what I’ve seen, you’re an incredibly hardworking, successful and “smart” dude. I’m sure your friend is great too.
“Protect the children” crowd once again being the most dangerous for children
Even as an aroace guy who has no stake in anything romance or sex-related myself, it hurts my heart that so many people would try to harm and disfigure themselves just for the promise that it'll somehow improve their chances.
Please stop doing things like this. The last thing someone who genuinely loves you would want is to see you hurting yourself in an attempt to gain their approval.
It's always been like. Why do you think plastic surgery exist, people want to be accepted and will do anything to do so

I’m not proud of this, but the vindication I feel having you cover the Sound of Freedom story is immense. I spent HOURS this summer sending people in my life article after article about the sketchiness of OUR, why supporting them financially wouldn’t actually help victims, and how the movie gave well meaning people warped and dangerous ideas of what trafficking really looks like. I hate that these things happened the victims of Tim Ballard and the Producer, but I’m genuinely cheering that their stories are being told and these men won’t get as much support.
I hope these reporters spend this much effort looking into the biden family.

This sounds like propaganda.
The problem is that there’s going to be a huge group of people who see their actions as what they want themselves.
Certain groups of people want to be the badass hero, while also viewing their actions as “part of the job” because they would do the same if it were them.
As a registered drone pilot, this is a complicated subject. The FAA already has strict regulations against pilots who just want to have fun and do FPV drones. Now just to go to a park and fly my drone with no people around, I have to have a remote ID module to legally fly. Which means even worse battery life for a drone that already only gets 4 minutes of flight time at best. The good side of remote ID is that it shares the location of the pilot and where they took off. Allowing authorities to see where the pilot is when they do dangerous stuff like this. It just sucks for the people who want to have fun in their backyard without broadcasting a signal to the world. It also means anybody to see our location not just authorities. Which will cause “Karen’s” who think they know the law more than us registered pilots to know where we are and yell at us for flying legally
My Qmom donated a lot of money for the production of The Sound Of Freedom. She’s not a well-off woman but they got a direct line to her wallet. She was happy to see her name in the credits 😒
About the doxxing thing: that one post summed it up as "consequences". It's hard to interpret that as anything but an admission that the doxxing was done in an attempt to silence or punish people. It's targeted harassment and it is definitely not ok. You're not "fighting terrorism" by bullying a bunch of students.
But how are they going to spread controlled propaganda if there are people speaking against it??
Well, yeah. The students signing these petitions have the right to do so, it's freedom of speech. But they do so publicly - they gave permission for their names to be linked, in public, to the hateful message they sponsored. So why is it not okay to publish it and punish them for their hatred?
@alimanski7941 they asked for Israel to be held accountable for their internationally recognised war crimes
How tf is that hateful??
The only thing hateful here is that stupid mindset of yours or lack there of because you clearly don't have a brain to have a mindset to begin with
Especially when the statement being made is Israel's policies have consequences.
@@alimanski7941There was nothing hatefuI about the message they endorsed, but there is something hatefuI about doxxing students for signing a message caIIing for peace and accusing them ofterrorism especially when many of the people who signed it were musIim and arab students. Everyone involved in or supported the doxxing is a racist
I will say the few people I know who talked about Sound of Freedom over the summer were so fervent in their praise that it made me feel like there had to be something shady about it. I had someone say that the studios didn’t want the information in the movie getting out and I’m just sitting there thinking clearly there’s a reason and now the other shoe drops.
That freedom dude being accussed of assault is truly not a surprise. Some of the loudest mofos in the child explotation space might be the biggest predators.
The truth behind Sound of Freedom is INSANE!!
My partner's boss has a daughter in her 20's who was in Jordan at the time that all of this started happening, and we've all been holding our breaths for her. She went on a bus that went along the Palestinian border and was fine, but the bus after hers was searched and had 2 Israelis who were shot in the head on the bus. She has heard the bombings, she prayed to be let into Egypt, and we had no idea whether she would actually get out or not because she's an Aussie. I just got word last night that she is safe and in Beijing on her way back to Australia. She was lucky, so unbelievably lucky.
That is so much bullshit what are you on about? Iam a jordanian and non of the bombings and conflict has affected jordan in any way airports working people living no one is being shot hell even US soldiers in here are more than in the US itself what are you on about? “Holding our breath” “2 israelis on a bus were shot” my ass.
The border has been closed to cross to jordan even before the bombing, the least thing this conflict needs is the likes of you who just start writing their own attention seeking fiction
Absolute LARP, the Jordanians aren't shooting Israeli's in the head you absolute LIAR!
I'm glad that she managed to make it through. Terrifying situation.
Jordan? Egypt? I’m confused. If she was on the border with Jordan, that would be the West Bank. Hamas doesn’t have a (considerable) presence there and don’t carry out attacks there. The border with Egypt is on the Gaza Strip, completely separated from the West Bank and on the other side of Israel from Jordan.
You mean the same Aussie cheering kill the Jews? And on top of that she went to fucking china? Sounds exactly the kind of person I hate
I'm male and 24 and was born with a cleft lip and have a visible cleft surgery scar on my face. I had to undergo years of dental work and am still not done with it. It has made me a very shy person at times, and I was worried there was something wrong with me. It turned out there was nothing wrong with me, I just needed to keep looking and not feel dejected after rejections. I know this is very hard to do but if you keep going someone will come along! I thought it would never happen and now, after some rejections and worrying my scar was putting people off, I've been with a girl I met online for over a year. Embrace your flaws. Don't have them surgically removed (unless you have to) or using a hammer.
Holly shit Phil, I LOVED this long as hell video! You covered so many topics that I actually care about and after watching I feel both more informed and validated. Thank you for that!
The company that released Sound of Freedom bought tickets to inflate box office numbers.
THANK YOU! I've been asking you to cover the Tim Ballard situation for a couple weeks, and I think it's really important. This fraud used the cause of anti-trafficking to abuse women and it's disgusting and so sad. Those women believed they were helping and were abused for it. Everyone that has donated to that organization thought they were helping, and instead their donations were used to buy TB and his friends lavish vacations, booze, drgs, and prstitutes. Just so frustrating and upsetting.
Watch me trick you into thinking it’s your patriotic duty to see this movie I made about human trafficking (so I can afford drugs and sex workers, who are likely victims of human trafficking themselves) Tim Ballard
You serious dont think it could be rich powerful influences doing ANOTHER smear campaign? How many more?
Is it confirmed?
Edit: I'm asking cause i've read several articles, all reference the vice article shown in the video, so i read it too but there's nothing i saw properly contextualized and with proper clear sources (not even a he said, she said, it was more like a someone said he said she said), the only suspicious thing i found was him leaving OUR (which to be fair i haven't made any more research about that subject than what i read on the vice article). Finally its vice... A soudi funded "news organization" so i can't really say i trust them.
Like blm
its obvious that ppl are trying to smear him because of the success of the movie despite it being blacklisted from many companies bc the subject matter was too close to home for alot of the hollywood elite, and there was a smear campaign/censorship run on it go look up sound of freedom cinemas sabotaged
Phil. You’ve got one hell of a team behind you. I hope they get a lot of time to decompress.
I've heard Phil is just as good to his people. No need to worry.
@@niconegrobet. You already know his company loves him and respects him and appreciates what they for him. And the cycle of healthy employment continues. Go Phil!
the local catholic radio my grandmother unfortunately lostens to was straight up calling for violence against those students and it honestly scared me, specifically when at one point they said they "hoped someone shows those non-binarys what a war zone is like"
I'm Israeli. A lot of my family were drafted. I'm really worried about them and I'm really affraid that if a ground invasion happens they'll probably die. Two days ago there were sirens and we had to go to the bomb shelter. The most terrifying thing wasn't sitting in the bomb shelter, but when they told us "no need you xan xome out, just turn off your lights and lock the doors". I thought it was going to be Beeri all over again.
I am just so tired of everything. So tired that any anger I had at the beginning is kind of gone. I don't want want anyone to die. Not here and not there. I just want it to be over.
I've heard a lot of crazy shit being said around me. I don't excuse it but I at least sympathise with the feelings of anger and fear. Same as when I hear a Palestinian in Gaza saying horrendous stuff about my people. I sympathise with the fear and pain even if obviously I think it is abhorrent.
But those people living in the west in their nice safe rooms? What the hell do you have to be angey about? Saying Gas the Jews or flatten Gaza or watever. You don't get to be outraged in the name of people you've never met in aplace you've never set foot in. Who are you helping anyways waving around a terrorisr flag? Who were those dumb college kids helping by sending out those letters and how is them being doxed helping anyone? Non of these things help anyone but at least you westerners can feel good about yourselves.
I apologize. As an American who has never faced something so terrifying I can't even begin to imagine the pain and suffering you all are going through. I just want you to know some of us feel awful for every single innocent person being put through this horror, no matter who they are.
I think it is easy for those of us who are far removed to pick a side because we aren't there witnessing the tragedies ourselves - things are almost always easier to consume through a screen while being fed ideas from the mainstream news.
There are Israeli people, there are Palestinian people, and then there are the people forcing others to go through hell.
You may not like me because I'm western, and that's understandable. I still want you to know that I'll pray for your family, all the families, and all innocent people to be safe. I pray the bloodshed stops swiftly. I hope you can please forgive us that are ignorant to your pain for the stupid things we say (including me, if I've said something offensive here to you) and do.
However, there are many people in America and the west in general. Some of us are Arab, Muslim, Jewish, dual citizens, or visit family frequently. To say folks here have nothing to be angry about might be a touch wrong. America especially is a melting pot and many of us proudly live like our people or ancestors do or did. They are certainly allowed to be angry, sad, confused, and loud about how they feel. No, they are not going through the hell you are in, but perhaps they have family or friends who are and are scared for them. I would like to consider also that some folks here are simply violent for no good reason and wish for it all the time. Those people are scummy and I apologize for their awful behavior as well.
I'm sorry for all the suffering over there. I'm sorry you're suffering. And I'm sincerely hoping this all stops because nobody deserves this. Please stay safe. Even if you are mad at me or my people, I send my love and wishes for peace so families may be reunited. ❤
@@ticklemebreathless1394 I don't hate you spesifically. I'm just frustrated about people inserting themselves into the situation talking about what Israel "should" do.
That kid holding the Kach flag in last week's video does he even know hebrew? Is he Israeli or just Jewish? Has he ever stepped foot here?
The people chanting gas the Jews in Australia, a lot of them were holding Lebanese flags. Are they even Palestinian?
If people have have family here to some extent I get it. But at some point after being third or fourth generation immigrant your ties are so distant that you have no idea what the hell is going on
Let me ask you this? Did you ever ask your Jewish friends what they thought of the situation? Did you at least wonder? Same with any Muslim friends. If so why? What worthwhile thing do you thing they'd have to say? I'm assuming you're white European and so might have some Russian or Ukranian heritage (appologies if you're not but my point still stands). Has anyone asked you your oppinion on the Ukranian war because of this? Do black people get asked regularly about the coupes going on in Africa right now? Do Irish people get asked about what they think about the troubles?
The pro Palestinian protests around the world have really solidified for me that Jews will never be anything else. A Jewish Australian will never be really Australian, a Jewish Frenchman will never be really French. This infuriates me.
I feel like there’s just been a growing lack of genuine empathy in a majority of people and this has led to a big “us vs them” mentality causing division and hate
Yeah it’s disturbing,
My impression is that there's one group that mostly cares about vertical empathy, i.e. those closest to them and who are like themselves.
And then there's a group focused on horizontal empathy i.e. empathy for others regardless of their personal relationship.
The first group will protect the "in-group" regardless of what they've done. With the exception of "betraying" the group.
The second group has limitations on calling out even relatives if they feel that they need to defend a different group in need of protection.
So both groups can be extremely empathetic but it's simply directed differently.
@@TobiasHarmswhile I see that - I also think over all there’s less empathy. My guess is the constant stimulation from our smart phones - more drugs - it’s making people very impatient. The road rage - like that cop running over that girl and laughing - it’s surreal levels of disconnection from reality.
@@__rm307it certainly plays its role, I feel more like it has to do with the hyper-atomization of our culture and a snowballing uncertainty of the future. It’s not the mix you want. Add on drug usage and the accessibility given by technology, or even Covid, inflation, lack of institutional trust, social isolation, any sort of problem people are dealing with and you’ve got a significant percentage of people who are very vulnerable and scared who will attach onto some of the worst ideologies that are out there to scapegoat their fears. It’s a very scary time out there.
Yep seeing more and more example where I'm sure most people will be reasonable and kind on a certain issue, since it seemed non divisive to me, I go to the comment section and ots just full of people cheering on the most vile acts of vigilante justice
Really disheartening
The "Sound of Freedom" story and controversy only makes me sad. Sex trafficking of all kinds is a very real threat and while recognized seems to be an open secret. Then you have self-righteous men like Ballard coming out to use issue to brighten their own star. My hope is, we criticize these people who take advantage and exploit these issues, while also continuing to help those currently suffering in silence, and those survivors who need it.
They learned from the internet what's profitable. Vigilantes that go after preds online get a lot of interest. They do what is profitable. Make disinformation unprofitable, and they wouldn't use theatrical lures online that weren't actually true to get butts in seats. ❤
What's even worse is Hollywood pedos and people like Phil want to highlight this guys sins just because they're mad about a movie that point out the real problem of Child sex trafficking.
The problem also that conservatives use this movie to just lambast anyone who dislike the movie as a paedophile and sex trafficking supporter which is ridiculous. Its such a self-congratulatory film that simply by watching it some conservatives think they’re supporting a righteous crusade against sex-trafficking. Even when this movie is mostly fictionalised. Even when the actual biggest sex-trafficking networks in the world in East asia are completely ignored because white conservatives dont find that very sympathetic, or the kidnapping of children by Russian forces is conveniently ignored. Everyone in their right mind is against sex trafficking, but conservatives love to feel like the hero going against the world so they need to use critics of this movie to show that democrats and leftists are all apparently pro-paedophilia
@@GuineaPigEverydaymaybe conservative media says folks who don't like the movie are for pedophil*a, but I haven't heard a single conservative irl say that. Maybe we just have access to different conservative circles though.
And by your logic, the movie wouldn't have focused on saving Central American kids bc conservatives hate latinos, right? The organization the movie promotes (Operation Underground Railroad, check it out and decide what you think for yourself) is global and definitely operates in East Asia.
You can like or dislike the movie, you can like or dislike the people behind it, but we should all make big or small actions to end human trafficking. It's sad that the "face" of the movement is detracting from that
@@GuineaPigEveryday Do ticket sales at least go to charity or something? There has to be SOMETHING to that feeling beyond "I saw a movie, so I changed the world!" right?
The NFL drones just makes me think they (the NFL) are just mad that someone gets to watch the game live without paying.
not a lot of women do deadpan humor because we're used to the social pressure of being nice and polite to others, so I'm kinda interested in seeing more of Bobby. I think it would be interesting to see her interview black women to put in contrast of the racism accusations.
This is a good take!
Bobbi gives industry plant vibes. She kinda popped up out of nowhere, and she regularly goes viral for just the right amount of controversy to get people debating back and forth about her.
Well, she was on TikTok 1st doing mom videos, but I think playing around w/ TikTok and probably already having a weird sense of humor has paid off The controversy is free advertising.
It's pretty much "Between Two Ferns" with a cute little white girl. The internet really loves to be offended by anything. I'm convinced it's a kink.
That sound of freedom story is wild. I knew there was a lot going on with it that was sketchy, but I had not idea it was that intense! One thing I found very interesting that Phil only discussed briefly is why the film was so successful. The flood of tiktoks about how "theatres are lying to us and wont let us see the movie, they say the AC is broken" is one thing, but the insanity of right wing billionaires buying out entire theatres for weeks on end to fraudulently prop up the film and make it seem like it was popular, when there are many videos of people checking and finding zero people actually watching the movie (even though it stated it was sold out) The manipulation and fraud around this movie almost deserve its own feature length film. Gross.
Whats funny is I worked for a theater chain for almost a decade. These places don't have enough money to replace ac parts because the systems are so massive and intense. You can guarantee that every busy weekend you will have either a broken ac unit or a projector break. It's a dying industry but people like to pretend like the theaters have so much money. No, the ceos have tons of money because they skimp with all their theaters and staff. We all worked on skeleton crews with run-down theaters for most large movie premieres. Ac issues, power outages, and broken projectors happen during every single large movie I have ever worked.
Why do lefties defend terrorists and child predators???? I need to know why the link with attacking people who defend kids being kept away from s*x??? total red flag on these channels?
Nice conspiracy theory. You wear your tinfoil hat to keep you safe from the 5G signals too?
I hadn't heard of any billionaires buying out theaters, but I can see how this movie would appeal to religious groups or "save the children" groups only to have those people "buy" other people tickets afterwards. Then those people probably told some friends to see it who "paid it forward" by buying more tickets and telling friends and so on which kept the film chugging along at the box office for a while. I can only imagine the number of tickets purchased for others who can't afford it that never got distributed and instead went to lining these crazy people's pockets.

What surprises me is like, how long it took for people to look at drones and their ability to hold and drop things before they were like "Okay, what if... They held an explosive and then dropped that?" It's also not just explosives, there's like... Acid, knives, etc...
Sorry to inform you but drones are a military invention. Its more accurate to say how long did it take for people to look at drones and think - we could use them to carry other things apart from weapons, and film other things than politics
@@ggriffyn5165 Yeah, but like there's big differences between military drones and hobbyist drones that make the latter much more affordable but also much less capable of killing people... But this changes that, because now you have people weaponizing what would normally be a hobbyist drone so that it can kill people... That's sort of what I was thinking anyway, probably should've specified I meant like the 100 dollar drones that you could buy at like a Walmart or Best Buy or just off Amazon, obviously the US military been drone striking places for almost two decades now...
(Fun fact I learned is that in the 1973 Yom Kippur War the US got Egypt to waste their entire stock of anti-aircraft missiles shooting down unarmed target drones...)
I love you, Phil. Years ago, when Philadelphia cream cheese was trending, i tagged you under the "show me your filly" cause i joked youre the only Phil i need, still a loyal viewer. I hope you see my comment, youre the best. Thank you for over a decade of news, and now that social media have rid of it youre even more important than ever
Saying "You deserved being publicly doxed for fear-mongering," with a haughty tone, is an absolutely insane take to me. Doxing is a step _further_ than fear-mongering, as it provides the tools and highly encourages _very real_ harmful actions towards a group of civilians, as opposed to just making a controversial political statement. This conflict brings out the absolute worst in everyone, it seems.
Making a controversial political statement isn’t doxxing
It's not doxing if the information is publicly available. I forgot a relatives address and I didn't want ask (birthday present) all I did is type in their first & last name and voting record, which is public available info. Instantaneous the 1st result had their address clear as day. I didn't even have to click the link and I had the full address and even the extra 4 number zip code that mail people use.
In no way shap or form is a recursive google search doxing
@@OGBennyGoatwhat happened to the Harvard students was doxxing
I can look all that up and half of it is on Harvard's website
Club info, graduation year, fullface pic for said club, is all on Harvards website
@@chronic_payne5669 The doxing was in response to a controversial political statement, (which was called fear-mongering,) as per the news story in the video we just watched.
I am so sick and tired of how a difference of opinion and now even empathy, are viewed as justification for destroying people's lives.
Are you really saying Israel should do nothing? A terrorist group killed a thousand people so they should let them be. Hamas are just as bad as ISIS if you are not Muslim they would kill you and your whole family and fun fact they even slaughter other Muslims too like in Syria. Another troglodyte with no idea what they are talking about. Also remember what the US did after 9/11 and that was just buildings falling down not rape beheadings and torture of children. Its almost like Civilians die in war remember literally every war in history? Moron.
Empathy is a luxury not everyone can afford
difference of opinion -- empathy?, gocha when you sign on to a statement condoning a terrorist act of a murder of babies, burning alive of families, and then your quasi anonymous backing of such depravity comes out you want to cry how dare they expose me for the monster I am anonymously. Hmm... you either embrace your bigotry or keep it to yourself.
Likewise. I don’t want any innocent people to die, in any circumstance, and I can’t fathom how anyone else is okay with that. Too many people are seeing things in black and white when they are, in fact, gray
@kazolar babies were not murdered thats blatant atrocity propaganda, find me some confirmed evidence.
This is the reason why I'm a Phillip subscriber, so down to earth and real.
a reason sound of freedom sold so many tickets is people bought tickets trying to "pay it forward" without knowing how it worked causing the movie to be sold out but nobody was in the screen
22:48 Thank you for bringing this up! For Ballard not to point out exactly how this poor girl was lured into trafficking is at best incredibly irresponsible. To effectively fight against human trafficking, you HAVE to understand and spread the word about the most common ways in which people get sucked into it, cause grooming like what happened to Lilliana is MUCH more common than being snatched off the street!
Its so frustrating. There is a ton of fear mongering about how people will just grab you off the street and sex traffic you when that is just not how it works here in the US. Its usually men who lure these young girls wirh romantic promises and its sad that people ignore reality.
The fact that Ben Shapiro and Andrew Tate are going up against each other just goes to show that no matter what side of an argument you might be on, there's a chance someone really awful agrees with you, and that's something you'll have to live with.
lmao damn 😂
Weird to see Andrew Tate going for peace and Ben Shapiro is going for violence. Was kinda surprised
@@kaizer8280 Ben Shapiro always calls for violence. I don't understand what you find surprising. He just hates all Muslims. If it were up to him, I'm sure he would just do to Muslims what Nazis did to Jews.
I have to accept that as a Muslim Palestine supporter, and seeing just how many Muslims are ultimately hateful to Jewish blooded people. If you’re Muslim reading this, by Allah I pray you’re not this type of monster. If a Muslim hates even one Jewish person, I pray Allah makes an example out of them.
@@kaizer8280because Ben is a Jew and the only thing he can think about or care about is his boner for revenge. Revenge for the slights against his people.
He can't fathom any other way
I love that you see the A on her shirt as a "Scarlett letter" and my first go to was an Alvin and the Chipmunks Halloween costume 😅😅
I will always be so grateful for an experience I had when I was a little girl that really made me realize that you can't judge somebody based on outward appearance or race. It was the early 2000s, maybe 2003 or 2004, and my mother, older brother, and I are making our way back through the Denver Airport after dropping my dad off. The Denver Airport is this huge, insane place with a whole subway system inside it, and so the three of us were waiting for our train. My brother ended up running ahead of us into the train while my mom and I were stuck back (I don't totally recall why, I was only five or so at the time), and we watched as the doors started to close and there was no way we were gonna get there in time, so my seven year old brother was about to just vanish into the subway system of a gigantic airport all alone. We were all freaked out, and then this man jumped between the doors, threw his arms out to the side and took most of the impact on his briefcase.
It was a man we had seen earlier, and who we'd all been wary of. After all, we were in an airport, and here was this Muslim man wearing a turban and he looked every part the stereotype of who I'd been told the "bad guys" were. But suddenly, there he was, literally throwing himself in the way of train doors to help keep my family together. My mom was insanely relieved, and we were reunited.
Hearing about the TikTok trend that encourages young men to smash their jaws is very concerning. It also proves that there are so many in this world who will do anything the internet tells them to do, even if there is no evidence at all.
I can not believe that people are so stupid, they'll damage their face because some con man on the internet tells them to.
It’s funny how Phil can address the extremes some guys are going too to change their appearance yet make fun of those that consume the red pill and alpha content. I in no way support those movements but a big part of those groups is fitness and working on yourself, that’s how some guys get exposed and hooked in.
There is a growing crisis with young man feeling loss with numerous issues and when Phil and many have called them incels which he has done in the past to try to make fun of them it achieves nothing but drives them further away. A lot of guys today are lonely and struggle to find a partner, now there is the extremes that are violent and toxic which I don’t condone but those are the loud minority and most guys are normal just socially inept. I always find it funny when people use incel as an insult when your essentially making fun of someone not being able to find a partner which is a very human thing to want to have. In the coming years it would be interesting to see if this issue is address or ignored.
@@forzer456the thing I ask them can you improve and get better with the bullshite that these sexist and misogynistic jerk they to tell and it sexistto men too and only women
I do blame media most media who women and men as one type to be more attractive when in reality not every women into these Chad looking dude some perfer short guy, skinny guys, or just averages looking dude same with women not all women need to be Stacy type a women with a hourglass body type and bug breast and asz to be attractive media have been sexisz for years of enforcing the idea that one type of guy and women are the most attractive when in reality if different for everyone
"I'm not gonna accuse Bobby's podcast of being on the same comedic level." I almost died laughing!
Not the picture of George Santos 🤣
I really wanted to see Sound of Freedom but after hearing some of this I’m rethinking it
Tim appearing at the end of SoF pleading for the audience to buy more tickets for the film was in part due to the distributor of the film, Angel Studios (who only other notable project before SoF was the series The Chosen), running a crowdfunding campaign to buy tickets for people who couldn’t afford a ticket. There’s been controversy that this is what largely fueled SoF’s box office “success” because aside from the opening day, Angel has not been transparent on how much of the reported box office gross was from this campaign or from people who actually bought a ticket, as well as fine print that Angel buried that said that Angel might use leftover funds for other things that weren’t buying tickets for SoF for those who couldn’t afford a ticket.
Called the Tim Ballard situation. Not hard to see these monsters coming anymore. Seen and experienced it too many time.
Related to that deadpan style of comedy Chicken Shop Date is incredible
Thank you Phil for exposing Tim Ballard. I actually thought he was being altruistic with his organization.
"Im not gonna accuse bobbi's podcast of being at that comedic level" is a wild but accurate insult LMAOOO
Hey Phil, I'm a joint and tissue biomechsnist and I just want to put forth a quick correction: Wolff's law about bone remodeling is sound science; it's just this specific application that's bunk.
Yes you’re right. He was wrong about the bones not strengthening.
Bones do not get stronger as a whole. Only the actual break gets stronger. If you wanted your full bone to improve then you'd need hundreds of fractures along it's entirety. Which risks extremely painful bone spurs.
@@aaronnunavabizniz199

@@aaronnunavabizniz199 people are conflating physiological stresses that contribute to the gradual patterning and orientation of trabecular bone and the anisotropy of bone strength as it develops (Wolff's law) with the function of osteoblasts in response to fracture resulting from traumatic stresses and impacts. Those processes are not really related.
@@DrEchoI am really interested in learning about Wolff’s law (just like learning about new things) but have hardly any medical terminology knowledge, would it be possible to dumb that latest comment down for me? 😅
Thanks for shedding more light on the operations of Operation Underground Railroad. Hopefully we learn more about Tim Ballard.
Remember when planking was the dumbest crap we used to do? Damn, I am old. Lol
The nastiness on social media literally led me to deactivate both my Twitter and Instagram accounts. We have lost our humanity as a society.
I worked at the cinema when Sound of Freedom was showing. We received countless phone calls asking us to play the film and harassing us when we said we didn't have it in our coming soon bracket. When we finally DID end up playing it after just about every session people came up to the counter and told us how powerful and how important the film is and how everyone needs to see it. Almost all of these people were at least in their forties. I don't even live in the US, I live in Aotearoa New Zealand and QAnon is having an impact on families and elders here. Sound of Freedom is a genuinely harmful film and I feel for the families of relatives who end up falling into this rabbit hole of tangibly dangerous falsehoods.
What part of the film was harmful?
I feel you are getting paid by someone to say this.
@@ShipdacheeseI could literally say the exact same about you
Anyone who complains about the accuracy of The Sound of Freedom but not the Netflix Cleopatra show that made Egyptians black or not complain about the total fabrication of events on The woman king needs to shut up with this bullshit it's a movie. It didn't claim to be a documentary.
I haven’t seen the movie but I feel like bringing attention to child trafficking is a net positive probably more then the heiress movie will be.
You need to look into the "Pay it forward" campaign, which had right wing capital buying tickets to The Sound Of Freedom, leading to sold out theaters showing the movie to an empty theater. The whole success of the movie was astroturfed.
For the Tim Ballard story, as a former Mormon, it is so crazy to me to look at these things from the outside, realizing just how brainwashed you are, from infancy, and it is shockingly appalling just what hyper-religious ideologies are capable of. The similarities between the actions of Tim Ballard, and those of Mormonism's Founder Joseph Smith, are just staggering.
